FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards after the draft finalized by the Plastics Sectional Committee, had been approved by the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products Division Council.
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) is prepared by polymerizing ethylene at high pressure and high temperature. It is a highly branched long chain thermoplastic polymer. Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) can be described as ethylene/ a-olefin copolymer with butene, hexene, 4-methyl pentene and octene being most common comonomers. Both LDPE and LLDPE resins are available with additives like antioxidants, slip, antiblock, processing aid, UV-stabilizer, antistat, tackifiers etc, in various proportions.
This Indian Standard was first published in 1965 covering the requirements of LDPE materials only which was subsequently revised in 1984. The scope of the standard in this revision has been extended to cover the requirements of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) moulding and extrusion materials also having similar property requirements to those of LDPE materials. Specification for high density polyethylene moulding and extrusion materials have been covered in IS 7328 : 1992 ‘High density polyethylene materials for moulding and extrusion - Specification’.
Polyethylene materials having density below 934.4 kg/m3 are normally clasitied as low density polyethylene (LDPE) and the density above 934.4 kg/m3 are classified as high density polyethylene (HDPE). In this revision the requirements of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) materials have also been included and the density of LLDPE in some cases falling in the range of 934.4 to 940.4 (Code 40), it has become necessary to incorporate the density range 934.4 to 940.4 (Code 40) in this standard also though this range is covered in IS 73281992 ‘High density polyethylene materials for moulding and extrusion - Specification’.
In this revision a system of designation which may be used as the basis for specification has been introduced for LDPE and LLDPE materials. The types are differentiated from each other by a classification system based on the appropriate levels of designatory properties such as density, melt flow rate (MFR) and information about intended application, method of processing important properties, additives, colour, fillers and reinforcing materials. This revision does not provide engineering and performance data which may be required to specify a material for a particular application or method of processing.
Considerable assistance has been derived from IS0 1872-1: 1993 ‘Plastics-Polyethylene (PE) moulding and extrusion materials - Part 1 Designation system and basis for specifications’ issued by the Interna- tional Organization for Standardization (ISO) while preparing this revised version of the standard.
In this standard, the basic concept of Type (product approval) and Acceptance (product identification) tests have been introduced to make this standard more meaningful. On the basis of type test the product identification criteria is derived and fixed and the values obtained for various accepted tests become the controlling specifications.
For the typical additional properties specified in 5.3.2 of this standard, the purchaser should establish his own correlation between the properties of the processed articles and the material properties required for their achievement. Test methods are available for some of the properties mentioned in 5.3.2 and the details of the same are given in Annex A for information.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance with IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)‘. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

ANNEX C
(Ckwe 6.1.1.1) PRODUCT TYPE APPROVAL
LDPEUDPE material of a particular designation for which the product/type approved is required shall be subjected to the tests for density and melt flow rate (MFR),
LDPE/LLDPE material of that particular designation successfully passing in thasa product/type approval tests shall for other requirements (Product identification tests) as stipulated in 6A2.1 which would be recorded and these shall be the controlling specifications as long as there is no change in the grade designation of the LDPE/LLDPE material, as fixed,
,
In the event of any change in tho grade/designation of the LDPE/LL&PE material rkapproval%ill be required and the type tests shall be carried out .afrash and tho controlling specifications for acceptance test redetermined and fixed,
When the proposed changes are such that it may not be expected to significantly affect the performance (satisfactorily passing the type tests) the certifying/testing authority may at its discretion recommend waiving complete reapproval or may require only partial reapproval in order to determine the significance and acceptability of the proposed changes and to redetermine the controlling specification for acceptance tests.
